Cockpit Pre-flight Hangar Checkout, getting back up after being grounded for 3-Mos. 4 COVID-19 Pandemic. Mitigating Risk will be the key!

A critical part of a pilot’s preflight and filing a flight plan is making sure that the aircraft is certified for flight. Part of the pilot’s duties to take into account is checking  the weather that can change during the course of the flight. Mitigating risks and hazards is a key component of making the flight plan. There will always be risks associated with most functions we do, but what makes these normal functions safe is the mitigation we follow.

Just like the duties of the pilot is to mitigate their risk to provide a service to the public, the public can take the same approach, as we come out of this pandemic. There are flight rules regarding maintaining clearances from restricted areas for our and the public safety. Just because the risks are there doesn’t mean we avoid taking flights, especially charter flights that are becoming popular and more affordable now.

The Importance of Sports in Our Lives

Sports is an important area that we need to get back open, not just from a spectator perspective, but from an athlete’s concern. There was a letter sent to President Franklin Roosevelt about opening the 1942 baseball season after Pearl Harbor and World War II started. FDR wrote the following reply to the commissioner of baseball, and this letter was called ‘The Green Light Letter’, shown below.

This Letter From President Franklin Roosevelt to the Commissioner of Baseball called “The Green Light Letter”

Sports is just as much a major part of the students’ curriculum, just like Mathematics, English, and Sciences are to the student. Sports and the ability to participate in sports are key to the student’s mental development. Even in dementia patients, physical activity is crucial to maintaining cognitive functions.

Masks, as part of our PPE, will be an important component of sports to open up, until this Pandemic diminishes for a period of time, or finally relents. But just like we in aviation take precautions and mitigation measures to make flying one of the safest means of travel, the NCAA and professional sports will have to put in place mitigation measures. Some mitigation we should have been following all along, especially hand washing and not touching our face. These are all learned behaviors that we need to be doing in order to open up and get back to our lives without giving up any of our unalienable Rights.
